Suitable Accommodations: An Autobiographical Story Of Family Life: The Letters Of J.F. Powers, 1942-1963

"It’s hard to talk about J.F. Powers, the Catholic writer who crafted a modern American classic with his 1962 novel, Morte d’Urban, without resorting to superlatives. Powers, who died in 1999, is possibly the most underappreciated fiction author of his generation, and quite likely the funniest. This collection of Powers’ letters to his family and friends is addictive, delightful and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking. Edited by his daughter, journalist Katherine A. Powers, Suitable Accommodations is a fine introduction to the work of the greatest Minnesota writer in history."
